I host my own SearXNG instance, which miiiight be a bit of a bad idea because the anonymity of the crowd disappears but hosting your own services is way too cool to ignore. It's at search.gregtech.eu in case anyone wants to use it.

    Accurate indeed. Pee is stored in the balls, cum is stored in the prostate

    Hahha GregSearX I love it!

    I’ve used searX in the past and found it was decent but personally I am going to stick with duckduckgo because it just works better for my needs (especially since I’m on mobile).

    What I don't like about SearXNG (aside of no favicons/icons I think) is that it doesn't show the content of what I am looking for in the browser desktop tabs, if I search for "Linux" in the tab it is only shown "SearXNG" instead of what I am searching for... That definitely kills my browsing habits... I hope I am being clear (can't post a screenshot right now), also unsure if it was the same with mobile browsers.

    I can set up a favicon resolver on my instance. I'll do it today.

    How did you change the logo? I tried to do that on my instance and failed miserably. Running it through docker.

    You gotta mount the image to the place where searxng accesses it, like this in docker compose:

    volumes:
          - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
          - type: bind
            source: ./images/searxng.png
            target: /usr/local/searxng/searx/static/themes/simple/img/searxng.png

    So then you can track my searches?

    I guess I could technically do that, but I really don't give a f what people search for on my searxng instance. Plus, Google and the likes have an incentive to use your searches for advertising and building a profile on you.

    If people search for illegal content does that get you in trouble?

    I mean, none of that content is on my server, and the search engines searxng indexes probably so their best to remove illegal stuff.

    I really hope I don't get in trouble for anything, but I doubt I will. I have a grand Total of like 5 users.
